Synopsis

Dakar has shantytowns as well as high-rise building, streets are crowded with cattle as well as flashy Mercedes, and women whose lives have been shaped by tribal custom and male prejudice as much as by their cutting-edge aspirations. Faat-Kine is a single mother with two children, two ex-husbands, a pushy mother and an assortment of friends. She is the manager of a sparkling new gas station, but her success has been hard-bought. Nonetheless, she values her control over her own life, and tries to balance modernity with tradition.
